2012 nissan altima cvt transmission issues. Altima has recalled from 2007-2010 and then again after 2012 for the cvt transmissions.

I'm in the dealership right now and he says again that he can't check the fluids but that i can replace it if i want but that it might…

Was driving on the interstate using cruise control at 70mph. The rpms suddenly increased to around 6,000. After that happened, the service engine light came on and i had trouble accelerating and the rpms were never able to get over 3,000, even with the gas pedal pressed all the way. It was difficult to get any acceleration and the car would make a whining noise whenever pressing on the gas.

When driving the car for a long distance (30 miles) there is a whining sound that starts and the car will not accelerate. If the car is allowed to sit and cool down the whining will stop but start back as the engine/transmission heats up. During this period the car will loose power and not exceed 40 miles per hour. This happens when driving throughout the city and on the highway
